It’s riding time!

I have been waiting very patiently since late April for this moment. It’s that time of the year again. It’s snowboarding time!
The storm that came into this region last weekend dumped a lot of snow in the mountains. In the upcoming week, the weather forecast is calling for more snow. And guess what, i will be spending my Thanksgiving in Whistler, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Sweeeeeet!!!
At the end of last season, my Session pants was literally torn into pieces, and since i could not find a decent pair of pants to replace it when all the winter gears were on sale in April, i have to pay premium for a pair of Burton AK Gore-Tex 2L pants. There goes all my Citibank credit card cash rebate for the year.
To get ready for this season, i started running on the treadmill about a month ago. I have never enjoyed running, i think i still don’t, but for the sake of being able to make it through a full day of riding, i am running between 2 to 2.5 miles each time. My goal is to run 3 miles in less than 30 minutes.

10 minute mile pace for 3 miles for a beginner runner is not a bad goal. I’d start with 11 minute mile for 3 miles first and regulate your breathing and rhythm till you’re used to it, then bump it up to 10. I’m envious that you’ll be heading up to Whistler next week.
Oh, another advice? Steer clear of the chairlift support beams.
